Flapping Flamingo holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Super Pipe Bird has 240 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Super Pipe Bird's written reviews are positive against 50% of Flapping Flamingo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Super Pipe Bird ships an update every 4 months, Flapping Flamingo every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
